Add Step-by-Step Photos	Cholena / All my dishes 6 months ago I just love this mildly sweet , super thin , unbelieveably soft South Indian sweetmeat . It is so light , you won't believe that you actually ate something for the last few minutes . But you need lotsa patience and time to make dis . Abs NO rushing !...

Ingredients

1 C Chana dal / Split Chickpea lentil

1 C Jaggery , powdered

1 tsp Cardamom , powdered

1 1/2 C all purpose flour

Milk

1 pinch of Turmeric

Pinch of Salt

Oil

Directions

Mix flour , turmeric, salt.

Make a soft, rubbery dough by mixing with a little milk and a fair amount of oil.

Cover and set aside for an hour or so .

Cook Chana dal in pressure cooker to a soft consistency .

Drain all the water.

Add jaggery to the dhal and cook for another 10mins .

Grind it dry .

Add the spices and mix well with hand to get a smooth mixture.

Cool it to room temperature .

Make small balls .

Now , take a ball of dough and spread with hand , by pulling . Keep a ball of filling in the middle and cover with the dough and seal the ends .

Apply oil to a plastic sheet or banana leaf ,

Roll the ball like a thin large pancake , making sure the filling dunn spill out .

Heat a greased griddle over medium heat .

Invert the poli on the hot griddle and slowly peel off the leaf / plastic sheet .

Roast till it gets to a golden brown colour on both sides .

Serve hot / cold .

I like it served in room temperature .

This delicious sweetmeat can be eaten as such .

Store in a zip lock bag and can be frozen for weeks .

When serving , just microwave it .

Some people like to add Toor dhal / yellow pigeon peas withe the Chick pea lentil .
Some like the fresh coconut grating instead of the dhal .
Some like to add Semolina with the all purpose flour but it will give a whole different texture : (
